Industrial Sealing Products
Packing (Compression & Gland Packing)
Packing, also called compression packing or gland packing, is a trusted sealing solution used in pumps, valves, and rotating equipment to prevent fluid leakage while still allowing controlled shaft movement. Manufactured from braided fibers such as graphite, PTFE, aramid, or carbon, packing is engineered to withstand high heat, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear. This makes it ideal for demanding applications in steam service, chemical processing, pulp and paper, power generation, and marine environments. With its proven durability, packing helps reduce maintenance cycles, extend equipment life, and maintain system reliability under harsh operating conditions.
Ray Lewis Company supports customers with a broad selection of packing materials kept in local stock, ensuring quick access to the right product for each application. Backed by our knowledgeable service team, we help match the correct packing type to your operating conditions—delivering solutions that minimize downtime, improve efficiency, and keep critical systems sealed and secure.
PTFE Seal Tape
PTFE seal tape, often referred to as thread seal tape or plumber’s tape, is a versatile and reliable material used to create leak-proof seals on threaded pipe connections. Made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this tape provides excellent chemical resistance, non-stick performance, and low-friction sealing, making installation easier while ensuring long-term reliability. PTFE tape is widely used in water, gas, HVAC, hydraulic, and chemical piping systems, where it helps ensure tight, secure connections that perform under high pressure and corrosive environments.
Ray Lewis Company offers high-quality PTFE seal tape in various widths and thicknesses, readily available from our local inventory. Combined with our expert customer support, we provide contractors, plumbers, and industrial operators with the right sealing products to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant installations.
